What Can You Do to Prepare Yourself for Trips to Hawaii?

OK, you’ve now figured out the details of your Hawaii trip. Hopefully, you’ve gotten yourself a good deal on Hawaii vacations. You’ve made your hotel reservations and you’re now set to go. What else do you need to do? Here are some suggestions for making your trips to Hawaii more comfortable, convenient and more enjoyable.

It’s Going To Be a Long Ride

First, prepare yourself for a long plane ride when you travel to Hawaii. From the US west coast, it is going to be at least a 5 to 6 hour plane ride. It’ll also be lot longer if you’re coming from anywhere else in the US. And unless you’re flying in first class, you are most probably not going to get a meal. So buy some sort of take-out meal at the airport. Or make yourself a sandwich and a snack before you get on the plane. Additionally, don’t bring any fresh fruits or vegetables on the plane, unless you plan to eat them before you deplane. The State of Hawaii doesn’t permit the entry of any sort of plants into Hawaii. This is to protect the islands’ plant life and farms from non-native insects and diseases.

Advantages of TSA-Pre

If you travel a lot, you should consider getting TSA-Pre clearance to by-pass the long security lines at the airport. Then you won’t have to take out your laptop at security. You also won’t have take off your belts and shoes when you go through the check points.

Travel as Light as Possible

Pack only casual clothes and pack light. For men, and perhaps women, unless you’re going to some sort of more formal occasion, you probably don’t need to bring any long pants. And you can definitely forget about bring any sort of jacket or sweater, unless you feel you need it on the plane. Bring only the shoes you wear on your feet, preferably sneakers, to cut down on your luggage. Try to only limit yourself to a carry-on bag. This will save money on those expensive luggage fees that most airlines are now charging. Plus, bringing on carry-on bag only gives you a lot of flexibility in case you miss a connecting flight.

Occupy Your Time in Flight

Find something you can spend 5 or more hours doing in your seat. Sure if you’re in coach, it’s not going to be that comfortable. But try to detract yourself from being cramped by watching 2 to 3 good movies on your flight. Got a smart phone or tablet? If so, you should download movies to your tablet or to your phone’s micro SD card. You can easily learn how to rip a DVD to your device by searching how to do it on the Internet. Plus, a number of carriers now have USB charging ports on the seats. So you won’t have to worry about running out of power on your smart phone or tablet. Or you can read a good book.

Prepare for Traffic in Honolulu

If you land in Honolulu and arrive during the morning or afternoon rush hours, prepare yourself for a relatively slow ride from the airport to your hotel. Believe it or not, Honolulu, even though it’s not a large city, has some of the worst traffic in the United States. Take traffic into account whenever to get somewhere by car, taxi or bus. Some GPS devices can estimate travel times. So using one one on Oahu could be helpful. If you rent a car and stay in Waikiki, try to venture out and return during the the non-peak traffic hours.
